How would you know? What evidence can you put forth that say a dog or dormouse does not have a conscious experience, but your next door neighbour (presumably human) has?

Behavioral observation.

Is there a plain pdf? That page was extremely hard to read and Reader mode doesn't seem to handle it in Firefox

Absolutely savage document reading experience.

Hm, I wonder if these sections could be made to fetch things async (and collapsed by default so things don't pop up in your face until you click).

I also suspect timings will be very repo specific, eg most of mine don't have very many tags.


Do you pronounce it like uruk hai?

It's in the FAQ, we pronounce it like "Euro-key" in English.

these people have never matured past childhood

the world makes a lot more sense once you realise there is no such thing as “adults”

I disagree! I would call many people adults. They're largely responsible and care about the impact they have on the world and other people.

It's certainly a murky thing to define, which is why I used "mature." Many adults are people who have not matured beyond childhood. This I agree with.


2016: this monstrous intellectual creature, through devious modeling of what our emotions and intellect are like, will be able to persuade us to do things like give it access to factories, synthesize custom DNA, or simply let it connect to the Internet, where it can hack its way into anything it likes and completely obliterate everyone in arguments on message boards.

2026: hold my molt beer

(I love how "connect an ai to the internet" is always the precursor to doom in pre-2022 scifi scenarios, and then as soon as we get something we call ai we hit that big red button)


Go go Streisand effect. This gag order will be great for her book.

She should do a tour of the US with someone asking her questions and she just not responding.


> the new parts probably won't work in the old machine

Except with framework, where you can actually upgrade it piecewise. The CEO had a video showing of them doing it in like 10 minutes, part by part


so in 8 years, I'll be able to buy a new CPU and it'll work in that old laptop?

Quite possibly yes. The level of upgradeability they've given their Framework 13 line over the years has been very impressive, and you can still put the latest CPU in the original chassis if you want. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSxgCEpkiKM

Reminds me of a certain scene from Knausgård's Morning Star.
